Rivage is a wine for connoisseurs, a blended wine vinified and aged in French oak barrels: the grape varieties used are superior varieties.
The maturity of the grapes, the post-fermentary maceration, the placing in selected barrels, the choice of the toasting levels and finally the blending create this alchemy, where the fruit – which are quite stewed and jammy – blend elegantly together and are in symbiosis with the cocoa, the toasted character and the vanilla of the barrel.
The structure of the wine becomes more complex: it keeps all of its lively character for the whites, but it becomes mellower and more “syrupy”. For the reds, the tannins become powdery and velvety, leaving an impression that coats the entire mouth.
“Rivage” is an evocation of the Mediterranean, of our specific geographical location… it pays tribute to this region of Languedoc Roussillon… a place where life is good, where the days roll peaceably by, mellow like our wine, in this wild and beautiful natural setting…
